Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un dispositif de transfert à sole vibrante pour le transfert de pièces, notamment le transfert de pièces à stabilité précaire.The present invention relates to a vibrating plate transfer device for the transfer of parts, in particular the transfer of parts with precarious stability.
Dans de nombreux domaines et plus particulièrement en verrerie, les pièces sont fabriquées dans des installations travaillant 24 heures sur 24 pendant plusieurs années.In many areas and more particularly in glassware, parts are manufactured in facilities working 24 hours a day for several years.
C'est le cas par exemple de pièces en verre telles que des bouteilles, des flacons, des verres.This is the case, for example, of glass pieces such as bottles, flasks, glasses.
Ces pièces sont mises en forme puis passent dans des arches de recuisson pour supprimer les contraintes résiduelles induites lors de la mise en forme. Les pièces sont fabriquées en grand nombre et déposées en sortie sur des tapis de grande largeur.These pieces are shaped and then pass through annealing arches to remove the residual stresses induced during formatting. The parts are manufactured in large numbers and deposited on large width carpets.
Ces tapis sont métalliques pour résister aux températures des pièces en sortie de fabrication. Ils sont constitués de mailles métalliques et tendus entre des rouleaux d'entraînement.These mats are made of metal to withstand the temperatures of the parts at the end of the manufacturing process. They consist of metal mesh and stretched between drive rollers.
En sortie de ces tapis, il se pose un problème, celui du transfert de ces pièces du tapis métallique sur d'autres convoyeurs, surtout que le système comprend généralement un passage d'un tapis à multiples rangées parallèles vers un ou des convoyeurs du type monofile.Out of these carpets, there is a problem, that of the transfer of these parts of the metal belt on other conveyors, especially that the system generally comprises a passage of a multi-row parallel belt to one or conveyors of the type monofile.
La difficulté est encore augmentée par le fait que les pièces sont généralement à stabilité précaire, due à la forme de la pièce elle-même dont la base est étroite et/ou du fait que le centre de gravité est haut.The difficulty is further increased by the fact that the parts are generally at precarious stability, due to the shape of the part itself whose base is narrow and / or the fact that the center of gravity is high.
Il faut donc d'une part combler le gap entre le tapis qui comporte à son extrémité un rayon généralement de fort diamètre et le nouveau convoyeur et d'autre part, il faut tenir compte de l'instabilité des pièces.It is therefore necessary on the one hand fill the gap between the carpet which has at its end a generally large diameter radius and the new conveyor and secondly, we must take into account the instability of the parts.
Actuellement, des systèmes vibrants sont couramment utilisés mais ne donnent pas satisfaction. Dans le cas où il se produit une chute d'une des pièces, compte tenu de la proximité de celles-ci sur le tapis, c'est un grand nombre de pièces qui choit. De fait, l'opérateur débarrasse le système au plus vite, jetant les pièces brisées, pour permettre à la production en continu de se poursuivre.Currently, vibrating systems are commonly used but not satisfactory. In the event that there is a fall of one of the rooms, given the proximity of these on the carpet, it is a large number of rooms that costs. In fact, the operator rids the system as quickly as possible, throwing the broken pieces, to allow the continuous production to continue.
Ce point de passage est souvent le lieu de chutes, ce qui diminue le rendement de production et nécessite régulièrement une intervention d'un opérateur et dans tous les cas la surveillance en continu.This crossing point is often the site of falls, which decreases the production yield and regularly requires intervention by an operator and in all cases continuous monitoring.
Les dispositifs vibratoires connus consistent en une plaque mise en vibration par des moyens adaptés, généralement électromagnétiques, plaque sur laquelle les pièces sont poussées par le tapis.Known vibratory devices consist of a plate vibrated by suitable means, generally electromagnetic plate on which the parts are pushed by the carpet.
Un dispositif vibratoire est connu par le document
Dès lors, les vibrations provoquent le déplacement des pièces prises en charge. Néanmoins, on constate de nombreuses chutes. Celles-ci sont sans doute dues à une amplification des vibrations le long du chemin de translation des pièces.As a result, vibrations cause the moving parts to move. Nevertheless, there are many falls. These are undoubtedly due to an amplification of the vibrations along the path of translation of the parts.
De fait, pour certaines pièces à l'équilibre plus précaire, cette amplification conduit à des chutes inévitables.In fact, for some parts with more precarious balance, this amplification leads to inevitable falls.
Un autre problème est aussi dû au fait que le tapis à mailles métalliques conserve dans certains cas des bris de verre qui font saillie et peuvent endommager la plaque supportant les pièces lors de leur passage.Another problem is also due to the fact that the metal mesh carpet in some cases keeps breaking glass that protrude and can damage the plate supporting the parts during their passage.
Ce problème est également à solutionner.This problem is also to be solved.
C'est l'objet de l'invention de proposer un dispositif à sole vibrante pour le transfert de pièces, notamment à équilibre précaire qui permet de pallier les problèmes des dispositifs de l'art antérieur.It is the object of the invention to provide a vibrating sole device for the transfer of parts, in particular with precarious balance, which makes it possible to overcome the problems of the devices of the prior art.
Ce dispositif à sole vibrante est maintenant décrit en détail en regard des dessins annexés sur lesquels les différentes figures montrent un mode de réalisation préférentiel, non limitatif.This device vibrating floor is now described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings in which the different figures show a preferred embodiment, not limiting.

Pour l'ensemble de la description, il a été choisi un cas d'application particulier, non limitatif, qui concerne un four de verrerie avec une arche de recuisson 10, en sortie de laquelle des pièces 12, en l'occurrence des flacons, sont disposées sur l'ensemble de la surface d'un tapis 14 à mailles métalliques d'un convoyeur 16.For the description as a whole, it has been chosen a particular, non-limiting application case, which concerns a glass furnace with an annealing
Les flacons se déplacent suivant la flèche L.The bottles move according to the arrow L.
Ces flacons doivent passer de ce tapis 14 à un convoyeur 18 monofile dont la vitesse, supérieure à celle du tapis 14, est telle qu'il absorbe le débit de ce tapis 14. Ce convoyeur est disposé transversalement suivant le sens de la flèche T.These bottles must pass from this
Entre le convoyeur 16 et le convoyeur 18, il est disposé un dispositif de transfert 20 à sole vibrante selon la présente invention.Between the
Ce dispositif de transfert est représenté en perspective sur
Ce dispositif de transfert 20 comprend un bâti 22 apte à reposer sur un châssis 24, fixé au sol et visible sur
Le bâti est muni de moyens 26 support isolants interposés entre ledit bâti 22 et le châssis 24, ces moyens étant du type plots en élastomère.The frame is provided with insulating support means interposed between said
Le bâti 22 est rigide mécaniquement.The
Sur ce bâti, des moyens 28 vibrateurs, dans ce cas des moyens vibrateurs électromagnétiques à bobine, non visible sur les dessins. Ces moyens comprennent un socle 30 solidaire du bâti incluant la bobine, l'axe 32 de cette bobine étant incliné et entraînant un support 34 monté sur des lamelles 36 élastiques, ceci de façon connue.On this frame, means 28 vibrators, in this case electromagnetic vibrating means coil, not visible in the drawings. These means comprise a
Néanmoins, dans les agencements connus, l'axe virtuel qui prolonge l'axe 32 doit normalement couper l'élément qu'il doit mettre en vibration par son centre de gravité.Nevertheless, in the known arrangements, the virtual axis which extends the
Or il faut aussi constater que le tapis, enroulé autour de son tambour occupe une place telle qu'il est impossible de positionner les moyens vibrateurs de façon adaptée, l'axe 32 ne pouvant pas passer par le centre de gravité de l'élément qu'il doit mettre en vibration.However, it should also be noted that the belt, wrapped around its drum occupies a place such that it is impossible to position the vibrator means appropriately, the
C'est ce qui explique le déplacement vers l'aval des moyens vibrateurs et de fait, il apparaît que ce déplacement provoque une variation de l'amplitude des vibrations générées en fonction de la localisation.This explains the downstream displacement of the vibrator means and in fact, it appears that this displacement causes a variation in the amplitude of the vibrations generated as a function of the location.
Dans cet agencement, lorsque la bobine est alimentée électriquement, l'axe de la bobine subit des translations à la fréquence de la bobine, mouvements qui sont transmis au support.In this arrangement, when the coil is electrically powered, the axis of the coil undergoes translations at the frequency of the coil, movements that are transmitted to the support.
Il est à remarquer que l'ensemble des paramètres retenus permettent le fonctionnement pour un rapport poids des objets en présence / puissance des vibrateurs. Si l'on considère l'exemple retenu de la verrerie, on comprend que les fabrications puissent traiter des flacons de petites dimensions pendant une période et des flacons de plus grandes dimensions la période suivante puisque ces unités travaillent en continu, au gré des commandes. La charge à transférer du tapis grâce à la sole vibrante varie mais il faut prévoir les paramètres aptes à traiter les différents produits à condition qu'ils restent dans une gamme de charge donnée.It should be noted that all the parameters used allow operation for a weight ratio of the objects in the presence / power of the vibrators. If we consider the example of glassware, we understand that manufactures can treat small bottles for a period and larger bottles the next period since these units work continuously, according to orders. The load to be transferred from the carpet thanks to the vibrating sole varies but it is necessary to provide the parameters suitable for treat the different products provided that they remain in a given load range.
Dans le mode de réalisation présenté, le module du dispositif de transfert comporte quatre moyens vibrateurs électromagnétiques qui doivent être synchronisés. De fait, la multiplication des moyens électromagnétiques peut engendrer des complications dans la synchronisation. C'est une des raisons qui conduit à concevoir de préférence des modules qui sont ensuite juxtaposés suivant la largeur du tapis 14 de sortie du convoyeur 16.In the embodiment shown, the module of the transfer device comprises four electromagnetic vibrator means which must be synchronized. In fact, the multiplication of the electromagnetic means can cause complications in the synchronization. This is one of the reasons which leads to design preferably modules which are then juxtaposed according to the width of the
Dans le mode de réalisation retenu pour la présente invention, les vibrateurs d'un même module sont pilotés par une platine unique qui gère l'ensemble des vibrateurs.In the embodiment chosen for the present invention, the vibrators of the same module are controlled by a single plate that manages all the vibrators.
Le support 34 est adapté pour recevoir une sole 38 de grande rigidité et d'un poids réduit, les alliages d'aluminium étant particulièrement adaptés pour cet usage.The
Ainsi, le différentiel de poids entre cette sole 38 et le bâti 22 permet un parfaite restitution des vibrations engendrées par les moyens 28 vibrateurs à ladite sole.Thus, the weight difference between this sole 38 and the
La sole 38 est complétée par un élément 40 de jonction, réalisé en plusieurs lames 42. Cet élément de jonction est solidaire de la sole et se prolonge à proximité immédiate du tapis 14, exactement dans le même plan en sorte d'assurer une continuité.The sole 38 is completed by a joining
La liaison entre l'élément de jonction et la sole est particulière en ce sens qu'elle est de type magnétique.The connection between the junction element and the hearth is particular in that it is of magnetic type.
Ainsi, chaque lame est en matériau ferromagnétique, par exemple de l'acier et subit l'action d'aimants 44 liés à ladite sole.Thus, each blade is made of ferromagnetic material, for example steel and is subjected to the action of
De fait, sous l'action d'un corps étranger solidaire du tapis 14 par exemple, corps étranger qui viendrait à heurter une des lames, celle-ci peut se soulever pour ne pas être dégradée. L'attraction magnétique assure la remise en place de la lame dès l'obstacle passé.In fact, under the action of a foreign body secured to the
Chaque lame est de plus biseautée, en sorte de se juxtaposer au plus près du tapis 14.Each blade is more beveled, so to juxtapose closer to the
Sur l'ensemble de la sole, il est prévu de façon avantageuse un revêtement 46 qui assure plusieurs fonctions. Il est identifié sur
Ce revêtement évite l'usure de la sole et surtout le marquage des produits par l'aluminium lors du transfert par vibration des pièces.This coating avoids the wear of the sole and especially the marking of the products by the aluminum during the vibration transfer parts.
Ce revêtement est aussi isophonique.This coating is also isophonic.
De plus, ce revêtement se prolonge en aval pour dépasser de la sole 38 et former une lèvre 48. Cette lèvre assure la continuité du plan du dispositif de transfert avec le convoyeur 18.In addition, this coating extends downstream to protrude from the sole 38 and form a
Selon la présente invention, le dispositif de transfert comprend un stabilisateur inertiel 50.According to the present invention, the transfer device comprises an
Ce stabilisateur inertiel est constitué d'une masse 52 reliée au bâti 22 de façon rigide, dans le cas présent par des bras 54.This inertial stabilizer consists of a mass 52 rigidly connected to the
Cette masse est distincte du bâti 22 et agit comme un contre-poids par l'intermédiaire des bras 54 qui jouent le rôle de bras de levier par déport, augmentant son action dans un encombrement limité.This mass is distinct from the
De façon préférentielle, la masse 52 est disposée en dessous des points d'appui du bâti 22 sur le châssis 24, points d'appui constitués concrètement dans l'invention par les plots 26.Preferably, the
Le dispositif de transfert selon l'invention fonctionne de la façon indiquée ci-après.The transfer device according to the invention operates as indicated below.
Les moyens 28 vibrateurs provoquent la mise en vibration de la sole 38 avec une fréquence comprise entre 20 et 120 Hz pour donner un ordre d'idées.The means 28 vibrators cause the vibration of the
Ces microvibrations assurent le déplacement des pièces disposées sur la sole dans le sens de l'axe 32, suivant la direction L.These microvibrations ensure the displacement of the parts disposed on the sole in the direction of the
A l'oeil nu, le déplacement des pièces donne l'impression de s'effectuer par glissement.With the naked eye, the movement of the pieces gives the impression of being made by sliding.
Les pièces provenant du tapis 14 progressent jusqu'à passer sur les lames 42. Ces lames solidaires de la sole 38 vibrent de la même façon. Ces vibrations provoquent donc le déplacement des pièces de façon linéaire sur le revêtement 46.The parts from the
La vitesse de déplacement est constante puisque la fréquence de vibration est constante et que les pièces sont identiques.The speed of movement is constant since the vibration frequency is constant and the parts are identical.
Il est bien entendu prévu, de façon normale dans ce type d' installation, une parfaite horizontalité des différents éléments de la chaîne.Of course, in this type of installation, it is of course expected that the various elements of the chain will be perfectly horizontal.
Le stabilisateur inertiel joue un rôle particulièrement remarquable et on constate que les amplitudes des vibrations restent constantes au moins sur la distance concernée, à savoir la longueur de la sole, quelques dizaines de centimètres pour donner un ordre de grandeur.The inertial stabilizer plays a particularly remarkable role and it is found that the amplitudes of the vibrations remain constant at least over the distance concerned, namely the length of the sole, a few tens of centimeters to give an order of magnitude.
Dans le mode de réalisation préférentiel, on constate que la disposition de la masse sous les points d'appui 26, la masse 52, de poids important, le tout lié à sa disposition à distance grâce aux bras 54, disposition qui renforce son action, est d'une très grande efficacité.In the preferred embodiment, it is found that the arrangement of the mass under the bearing points 26, the
Ceci conduit à un parfait maintien des pièces en équilibre stable durant le déplacement sur la sole sans engendrer de chutes des pièces, même avec les pièces les plus instables. Des essais ont même permis de faire progresser des bouteilles à l'envers, c'est-à-dire reposant sur la sole par leurs goulots, sans provoquer de chutes.This leads to a perfect maintenance of the parts in stable equilibrium during the displacement on the sole without generating falling parts, even with the most unstable parts. Tests have even allowed to advance bottles upside down, that is to say, resting on the sole by their necks, without causing falls.
En sortie de sole, les pièces passent sur la lèvre 48 qui assure la continuité avec le convoyeur 18 monofile. Les pièces sont alors entraînées sans problème dans le sens transversal.At the outlet of sole, the parts pass on the
On constate que le dispositif de transfert selon la présente invention permet de pallier les problèmes qui avaient été évoqués en préambule.It is noted that the transfer device according to the present invention overcomes the problems that were mentioned in the preamble.
